Professional staff!
The instructors and staff are all helpful and approachable. And I like that there are quite a few group work out classes to choose from. I have enjoyed Kim’s Hatha yoga and hope to become a regular if my schedule permits
The staff is friendly. And there is large choice of activities.
The variety of programs you offer for the entire family.
I am using the indoor pool regularly and like the way the booking system is set up. However, it is bit disappointing to see most of the time all 4 lines are booked for classes. And some of the instructors try to continue beyond their allowed time frame even they notice the next person is waiting to use the pool. Appreciate if YMCA is taking extra measures on streamlining this. In general I like the overall set up and would like to thank to all the staff who are committed to provide this service.
Having access to Peloton is AMAZING!!!
I love the classes and that you can go to as many as you want to throughout the week. Awesome variety!
Decatur Dekalb YMCA has so many opportunities to work out that it's easy to take advantage. The staff are ready to help with your workout or class. I feel very comfortable using the facility as it's always clean and safe.
I like the Zumba classes and the access to the weights
I really appreciate having small class sizes. I actually have a pre-paid membership at LAFitness and never go because the classes are too crowded. In terms of COVID, I feel a lot safer at the Y when I take mid-morning classes because we aren't packed in.
Hours of operation, towel service, professional and friendly staff
The variety!
The equipment is well maintained and the staff is friendly and willing to help.
I have only used the pool. I like how well organized the pool schedule is, and that I can get a solo lane. It can be difficult to reserve a lane, but I understand why.
Outside classes, swim lane scheduling
THE YMCA IS GREAT!
